Cell retraction and separation was also observed in vanadate-treated cultures.
Zeng Q, Lagunoff D, Masaracchia R, Goeckeler Z, Cote G, Wysolmerski R. Endothelial cell retraction is induced by PAK2 monophosphorylation of myosin II.
Moreover, SMI496 caused cell retraction and cytoskeletal collapse of endothelial cells as well as delayed endothelial cell wound healing.
A cell death (apoptosis) response can then be actuated on command by removing the applied magnetic field, thereby causing cell retraction, rounding and detachment.
Key steps of the execution phase are rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies.
In previous studies we carried out the in vitro biocompatibility assessment of PCL films using L929 mouse fibroblasts, obtaining good cell behaviour but a transitory stimulation of mitochondrial activity and cell retraction.
Any trauma in the peritoneal cavity causes an inflammatory reaction and a mesothelial cell retraction, exposing the basal membrane.
During laparoscopic surgery, prevention of the mesothelial cell retraction and the subsequent acute inflammation effectively prevents or decreases the associated consequences including postoperative adhesion formation and postoperative pain.
PP1-binding deficient mutants strongly induced cell retraction.
PP1-binding deficient mutants may strongly induce cell retraction although they retain the cell spreading activity.
Long and branched cytoplasmic processes were developed during the cell retraction.
